Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

On the day that pro-independence parties win an exceptionally large majority in the Scottish Parlianent, why hand Starmer the gift of being able to say, 'But we were told only an SNP majority would be proof of the wish of Scottish people for independence'?

Commendable, from John Swinney

“…there is “no way” his government is “going to go along with it”.

This kind of determination requires courage and risk. The attitude needed when Starmer/Sunak blocked an Indyref, instead of mild acceptance.

What Farage is trying to say is he's stunned he's been caught lying yet again & MSM, BBC & ITV can't cover for him as usual, but never mind, the voters don't care

Really privileged to meet Sid Khan today - a remarkable Scot who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

His compassion and courage in standing up for peace and justice speak to who we are as a nation. 🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

I presume it goes without saying that the project is designed to feed England's need for energy at Scotland's expense - literally given we already pay far more for energy than south of the border.

If this doesn't boost support for Independence, what will?

2/2. There is already increased housing development near the site but will the associated infrastructure be provided to support all this - thinking particularly of the likes of schools, health facilities, not to mention the existing and increasing nightmare that is the A96 + pressure on side roads.

Even the geese are ready for independence — tartan on, head high, and no patience left for Westminster’s nonsense.

Now Plaid Cymru is gaining popularity, Westminster is introducing d'Hondt to the Senned to stop a Plaid Cymru majority & a Welsh indy referendum

Democracy it appears is reserved for England, the home colonies must do as they're told

Independence is coming — like the highland storm, unyielding, unstoppable, and ours by right. London can hear the thunder already.

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context.

There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

What I find unbelievable is just how many Trump loyalists are out there unable to see what's happening right in front of their eyes

Arrived in Aberdeen for #SNP25.

This conference is about Scotland’s future - and who gets to decide it.

Together, let’s finish the job. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

I see Westminster is concerned about the Welsh Senned election in May next year
The d'Hondt system is being introduced to the Senned for the first time next year to try to prevent a Plaid Cymru majority & a Welsh ibdependence referendum
